सिद्धान्तशिरोमणि: गणिताध्याय (भास्कराचार्य - ग्रहगणित, मध्यमाधिकार व स्पष्टाधिकार सटीक)

6. How many like me, born in Brahmin families,
are being proselytized into the English system
of education burying in the Bay of Bengal all
that is grand in the Vedic and Sanskrit lore.
7. I raise my hands in supplication to Lord
Venkateśvara, who took His abode on the Seven
Hills as though to look down upon this mundane
and irreligious world. It was He that has
brought me here, to worship Him residing at His
very feet.
8. I feel it was the deep devotion of my wife to
Lord Venkateśvara that has brought us here,
dislodging us from our home and hearth.
9. May those administrators flourish, who exert
and strive to save the ocean—like Vedic lore
from the yawning mouth of Oblivion !
